It does help keep me focused at times, however I can honestly say some of the best books I've read are because they were read on a whim.<br /><br />You have wonderful goals and I hope whatever happens, you finish the year having read wonderful books - whether they were on your list or not.J.C.

I love making lists for the challenges, too, but I've found that's all I miss.<br /><br />And I'm also trying to make a conscious effort of reading gift books sooner. Sometimes I'll go years and that's not really fair to the gifter... <br /><br />I've been wanting to read Leaves of Grass again. Maybe a poetry event will give me the kick I need!Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6253232837359768277.post-49898802304913656212012-01-05T18:10:43.562+01:002012-01-05T18:10:43.562+01:00My poetry post turned into an event.
